well shit's manga / #TOO CUTE(216)

SO FAWKING CUTE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH mc is so pretty too omg webnovel here i come!!!!

Really cute premise and i love how chill the mc is like yes he gets flustered a lot which is adorable but the way he approaches things with the ml is really nice and refreshing, it suits his age. The only gripe i hve is the briefness in the aftermath of mc’s assault. It was so brief and weirdly unimpactful i wondered why the author even added it ? The expressions and follow up sequence after that felt so odd and jarring, like something so traumatic happened but mc and ml kind of brush past it ? Feel like more exposition about mc dealing with it and ml helping him through it while also psychoanalyzing the feelings hes having for mc would have tied it up nicely. The fact that author didnt expand it just a tiny bit made the rhythm of the story stutter awkwardly a bit. Yea Idk everything was great, its just that moment that left a weird taste in my mouth lol. Overall a nice fun read! Gorgeous art style and anatomy!! And beautiful 30+ mc!!! Delicious meal eitherway !

Such a lighthearted and sweet manga its so fucking cute seriously. Its just eve’s kokoroyohou personified!!!!!! That little bit about mc realizing hes been living his live putting everything in boxes (heteronormativity, social norms) expecting to follow the pattern when all this time the answer has been there in ritsuki all along :’) u can be best friends AND lovers!!!!!!!! its so cute and a nice little conclusion for the little conflict aoi experienced. Kaguya the prince character is so real tho in wanting to be a prince for the girls and boys who want to be princesses AHHHHH i love her so much she rlly stole the show for me lol

A perfect, succinct and Classic childhood friends to lovers trope with the most adorable dynamic ever. Like seriously theres no notes, author nailed it. Its so lighthearted and sweet, and what makes it so engaging and memorable despite the cliche trope is the whole atmosphere it has, its a very summery, fresh and quiet coming of age story, the fishing harbor/sea setting amplifies it more and issa’s genuine empty head personality paired with nagisa’s clumsy and bold personality makes it even better… issa just got the tism thats my bby…… love how nagisa knows issa needs clear explanation regarding things and how despite his embarrassment, nagisa tries to deliver it as best as he can and issa soaks it in so wholeheartedly, its all just so fucking earnest and clumsy and cute omg the communication is top tier as well, i love how fresh and new the love feels too, its so endearingly clumsy at how theyre both figuring things out. I think what makes it so nice is there isnt rlly a big declaration of love? Like the love has always been there since the beginning, quietly growing and they both knew that, are aware of that, and is so comfortable with all the ambiguous touching, its very befitting with the childhood friends dynamic!!!!!!! And when the first kiss happened, it all clicked like a perfect puzzle and they both just Knew. Its so fucking good??? Idk the tender and relaxed atmosphere rlly carried the story for me its just so damn good omg…… Also that panel in ch4 of issa’s head in nagisa’s lap and theyre both curled into each other was so stunning, so much natural intimacy and chemistry!!!!!!!!! their source of comfort entwined with one another!!! Took my breath away seriously it captured their dynamic so well…. AND DONT FORGET THE LITTLE PENGUIN WADDLE THEY BOTH DID TOGETHER WITH NAGISAS FEET ON ISSAS omg… One of the best intimate and natural anatomy interactions ive seen for sure..… the pacing, anatomy, dynamic and dialogue, everything, author rlly nailed it!!!!!!! Theyre so good in writing very muted, tender love stories with a mature, sort of ambiguous atmosphere to it, i love it so much… author my goat.. give them their deserved flowers and adaptations…

I love the chasing arc so fucking much in this omg, love how straight forward and to the point jun is especially when he sat yoonseul down to ask if he likes him to which yoonseul said he didnt and jun just replies “alright thanks for telling me” and leaves like wow?? i find that so refreshing it gagged me a bit ngl lol like he rlly just left from that encounter with so much grace and zero confusion of whats going on (or hope in what Could go on) between them two. just 100% eye opening clarity and i love that for him ( the angst of it all) LMAO The trope where the situationship slash cishet guy isnt ready to fully commit and realises that hes about to fumble the best thing in his life is such a solid conflict that i will love EVERYTIME!!!! I eat it up always LMAO heemins reality check talk to yoonseul is one of my favourites in here too like that shit was honest to god scripture lol “okay now imagine that guy loving someone else, you twiddled ur thumbs too long and missed ur chance, he doesnt like you anymore and you have no place in his heart anymore. They go their way and you never see them again” and it cuts to yoonseul looking so pathetically distraught its sad and hilarious all at the same time it was so good to see him wet puppy his way back into jun’s good graces LMAO ahhh i love it….. so cathartic lol especially that scene where he waited hours in front of the bakery, just being full of himself thinking its all going to plan LMAO i just love it!!!!!! I wouldve loved it even more if there was a timeskip and its yoonseuls turn instead to pine over jun lol he deserves it!! Pathetic loser regretful yearning fumbling loser of a ml i love u so much…….. shoutout to that final few chapters too where yoonseul just grows anxious at the misunderstanding he has between jun and min’s boyfriend that he just runs down the stairs, falls and bawls his eyes out at jun LMAO ah… so pathetic and maiden hearted… my stupid baby…his obsession and possessiveness just igniting and spiraling each time on full blast is rlly the cherry on top for me lol just borderline yandere and a clingy loser god i adore him dearly LMAO him being jealous at every single thing is so fun to see, but i was rlly rooting for dongha(?) to atleast bag jun as a queer friend, it would have been so sweet and such a fun subplot im sad it didnt go through uwaaaaa yoonseul u bitter petty bitch lmao like damn relaxdbndnd aint no one taking ur guy away from u its always straight to crazy eyes for yoonseul no in between no nothing its so fucking funnybdbdb AND i wouldve loved to see some of heemins love life like girl i refuse to believe that man is straight that is a TWINK!!! Pls be serious author he has the lashes and sultry eyes of a gay, homoerotic victorian man Anyway its a really fun read, beginning arc was deliciously angsty with all the drama/conflict flags yoonseul planted on himself then shooting his own foot by fumbling everything lmao jun’s straight forward and blunt attitude is so refreshing and fun to see it rlly matches with yoonseuls bullshit head on very satisfyingly LOL. their lighthearted romance after just finishes everything up rlly well, nothing too crazy, it was rly solid! Sex was cute and the sweet talk was adorable theyre so in love lol. Their chibis are soooo cute too ahhh !!!! what a fun read…. Yoonseul is such a freak but hey atleast hes juns freak and thats all that matters lmao good for them!!!!!!!! Their chibis are so fucking cute too!! God i love this dynamic and trope ah teary eyed pathetic puppy ml and level headed charismatic mc whos weak for it my bread and butter!!!!!!!!! definitely one of the more satisfying payoffs/ chasing arc for this kind of ‘cishet ml (or is he) chases sweet mc whos thisclose to dumping him and damn near fumbles mc each time time’ trope lol Also the title is so funny too yoonseol is so fucking lucky hes the main ml bc boy you would have just been the second ending had u kept ur shit up, damn near became history and a big learning curve chapter in juns life LMAO. a very solid 10/10 thank u author u did it right!!!! lowkey need a bingyuan au of this….

Seriously no notes this is a perfect childhood friends to lovers trope the little cliche conflict, the constant communication, the earnest love, everything was done so well, author cooked lol. The artstyle and panels are so beautiful too. Seriously, its such a nice, feel good, lighthearted and well written childhood to lovers love story. Their couple dynamic is adorable too, love how maturely they progressed in each stage of their relationship. The confession and revelation all are done so nicely. No unnecessary drama whatsover!!! Their coming out to their moms and ao’s lil sister was done quite sensitively too? Ao’s convo with ryouta’s mom was rlly rlly good too, i love that when ao apologised how he couldnt give her a grandchild, her reply was just “well seems like u gotta visit us more often then” and i find that such a nice reply??? Something in my asian lil heart healed at how Easy ryouta’s mom’s solution to it. Its so nice…. Idk Its just always refreshing to see authors Explicitly and considerstely approach asian queer experiences and topics in their stories rather than reducing the characters feelings to “i only feel this way to u and no other guy” kind of thing. The added nuance makes it rlly enjoyable and memorable to me personally lol And dont get me started on the proposal!!! Its so fucking sweet, nothing grand, just an impromptu lil thing by the bridge/street but it still packs enough of a romantic punch bc of how sweet and earnest their dialogue and narration was. Love how they immediately stopped bu the civil hall LOL good for them!!!! very soulmate behaviour!! i love how the atmosphere the author kept throughout the story. Very muted, natural and mature in all their interactions and dialogue. Their silhouettes and intimacy flows so naturally with each other. ryouta’s such an adorable ml with an even attractive moe gap when it comes to ao. Hes so earnest and devoted, i love him so much his personality bounces off so well with ao’s more upbeat and steadfast personality :’) usually with extrovert mc x introvert ml theres always some kind of comical loudness to the story and beat, but this is just so nice and quiet and muted? It doesnt do Too much. It just feels rlly nostalgic and carries a sweet coming of age tinge to it in their romance that ive come to rlly love!!! Author excelled in the atmosphere a lot!!!! Seriously, i have nothing else to say but praises. Its vanilla and the perfect kind of vanilla that isnt too bland. A very sweet and addicting vanilla!!!! Saw a comment that described this story/couple perfectly “dont you love it when the childhood friends to lovers are so intertwined with e/o its giving Anyone you meet will have to know me in order to understand You” AND THEYRE RIGHT!!! its that feeling exactly with ao and ryouta!!!! And author captured that feeling so fucking well!!! i know for sure im gonna reread this LMAO. So happy theres gonna be a 3rd volume :3c im rlly enjoying the slice of lifeness!!! Hope it gets an anime or drama adaptation soon!!

I LOVEEEEEEE this story so much oh my god its pure adorable fluff, it feels so fresh despite being the usual abo setting, i think its because of the rarity of secondary genders so much so that even when jinhwan turned out to be an alpha, he doesnt make it a big deal and even clarified that he got a vasectomy LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME HOW MANY MLS DO THAT!! NONE NADA EXACTLY?!!? he rlly said we having creampies worry free babyyy RAHHH i love him…. And i love the author for just dropping that in casually as a way of contraception thats so rare to see in fiction, especially an abo ml to say that AHHHHH the way he jumped into top 10 best mls for me instantly lol thats so insanely attractive of him!!!!!!!!!! A Sexy confident flirt and a puppy golden retriever to boot??! Author!!! I SEE UR GAME LOUD AND CLEAR BC ME TOO!!!!! Love love love the romantic chemistry and progression doha and jinhwan had. Usually when couples get together early in the story it’d automatically be a snooze fest but this one took me by surprise!!!!!! I loveeeee how sweet and timid doha is in navigating a healthy relationship and how supportive and adoring jinhwan is in helping him along the way, its soooo adorably sweet and vanilla that doesnt feel too textbooky. Especially with the way the author handled their past traumas. Their dialogue and communication shines a lot in those scenes, its soooo endearing TTT their little flirty banters is the cherry on top i swear bc it just flows so naturallt between them. I LOVE when characters does a big loud smooch over the phone, its so rare that whenever it happens i cheer so loudly ITS SO CUTE AND REAL!!!! Dont get me started with the gorgeous anatomy holy fucking shit???? The way the artist depicted their bodies interacting with each other during the sex scene and other intimate moments was fucking amazing. Hands HANDS THE HAND PLACEMENTS!!!!!!!!!!! immediately shot this story up to magnum opus bc of how natural the body movement is in each scene. And with the dialogue??? Perfection. I dont fucking care if we get zero plot and just have slice of life stories of these two being adorably in love i will fucking eat it bc the visual treat im seeing rn is INSANE…. love how author draws expressions as well, sure jinhwans mug is intense in some scenes but idk i find it so fresh and fun!!!! The way the characters are placed and posed in certain panels are so fresh too!! Jinhwan backing his car into the parking space as doha talks and fiddles with the cake box, jinhwan massaging doha’s foot, the constant hand holding, jinhwan teasing and flirting with doha by not letting him hold the cake box, all these acts of intimacy are so naturally subtle and it hits so hard when u notice it AHHHHH artist you absolute madlad…… so much care and detail is being put into consideration in the storyboarding man how could u Not love it????? Its so sweet and doha’s character is just So fucking adorable and jinhwan is absolutely smitten!!!! The chapters with sex are a lot, sure but it doesnt feel mindless or redundant to me, mainly because of how good the anatomy and dialogue are, i cant get over it give me more of those scenes bc holy shit does the artist know how to draw them!!!! The art style is so so mature and refined!!!!! ITS FUCKING GOOD!!!! I LOVE THIS STORY WAY TOO MUCHHHHHHHHH instant magnum opus for me idc LMAO its vanilla done right!!!

Can already see this becoming a quick favourite of mine LMAO the cozy and homey 90s setting adds so much to the atmosphere, it makes their exploration with each other and their sexuality that more sweeter, i love it so much TTTT and i love their dynamic AAAAAA tsun ml falling head first for clueless sunshine eager mc, my absolute bread and butter!!!!! The little details in how jinwoo is starting to let daehan into his circle, him saving a seat for daehan and getting jealous every time daehan mentions getting a gf oh buddy im SO excited to read more, i know this is gonna be good lol
